What is Google Tango and Daydream?

Google has
recently launched Daydream in India; previously it launched Tango. Have you ever
wondered what they’re all about?

Tango is a new
technology from Google that enables augmented reality on smartphones. Daydream
is Google’s platform for high-quality, mobile virtual reality. Let’s take a
closer look at each one.

What is Tango?

Tango is a set
of sensors and computer vision software from Google that enable augmented
reality applications. This superimposes digital imagery on top of a view of the
real world, captured by the device’s camera. The type of images used varies by
application, but often enough, they’ll be 3D models that you can physically
move around to see from different angles.

Tango is a tight
partnership between hardware and software. A depth-sensing camera detects
nearby objects in real time, so virtual objects can interact with them
appropriately. Motion tracking ensures virtual objects shift as you move the
phone, giving the illusion that they’re staying in one spot in the real world.

Tango also
provides a consistent technology for developers, so augmented reality apps can
work across different devices. It also helps apps to be easily discoverable by
users. The kinds of experiences you can enjoy here range from exciting new
games, to home decor utilities, to new kinds of exploration. The possibilities
of augmented reality are just beginning to be explored.

What is Daydream?

Daydream is
Google’s platform for virtual reality. It consists of Daydream-ready phones,
Daydream-ready headsets and controllers, and Daydream apps. Daydream View is
the first Daydream-ready headset and controller designed and developed by Google.
It also comes with a touch-and-motion enabled controller so you can easily
interact with VR apps.

With the
Daydream View, you will be able to explore new worlds through Google Street
View and Fantastic Beasts. Kick back in your personal cinema with YouTube,
Netflix, Hulu, and HBO. Get in the game with Gunjack 2, LEGO® BrickHeadz, and Need
for Speed. That’s just the beginning of the VR possibilities with Daydream.

The end result
is a doorway to entirely new worlds that you won’t forget soon.

Google has
notably been pushing AR/VR technologies with its latest Android OS. The most
prominent introduction however, has been the ASUS ZenFone AR launch that took
place at CES, 2017, earlier this year.

That’s not all,
ASUS recently took to its Facebook and Twitter pages to post a teaser video,
stating that the world’s first 8GB RAM phone is all set to land in India and we
believe that it’s the Zenfone AR which will be in mid of July.
